Look at Everything Our Donors Helped us Accomplish in 2019
What Better way to Celebrate the Holidays than Ending Inequality?
A recent study highlighted that only 1.6% of all charitable giving goes to supporting women and girls. Women face countless social and economic barriers that bar them from financial agency and self-sufficiency. Our business school model tackles those barriers directly by building women-owned businesses that provide dignified income opportunities where people can earn living wages.

Helping Marginalized Entrepreneurs Build Businesses from Tanzania to Peru
In Tanzania, our WAUMAKI Kisiwani women’s group is kick-starting their business near the ruins of one of East Africa’s greatest empires. In Peru, SPI hosted a launch event for our long-awaited ESCALA Business School. Local entrepreneurs and their families are enjoying a holiday season filled with joy thanks to new opportunities and sustainable income made possible by SPI projects and your support.
